Probably my favorite of Wells' works. I'd give it a slight edge over The Time Machine. ( )

This is just a story about a horrid little sociopath who happens to be invisible. I mean, that's fine. What is it about "classics" that makes you expect something life-changing and profound? ( )

Maybe even 4.5 stars -- this is the best H.G. Wells book that I have read so far. I found the prose flowed easily and didn't seem dated (though I think that some of the science is) unlike that in "The Time Machine" or "The Island of Dr. Moreau".

One complaint - Griffin is shown by the end to be mad - to use modern terminology, a sociopath incapable of empathy or sympathy. I would have liked to have heard a little about his background and whether he had demonstrated signs of this condition when growing up in the epilogue. Also, when he reappeared at the end, he is albino - was he born albino? Is this lack of pigmentation what drew his interest to that area of research? ( )

Scott Brick does a very good narration of this science fiction classic. The Tantor audiobook had some split second pauses in places (mostly at the beginning of a chapter) which I assume are left from editing. They were no problem but I mention them because they were noticeable and also I think they may contribute to the fact that this audio edition runs a little longer than most of the others I looked at on the Hoopla website (~6½ hours total).

See my Kindle edition for thoughts about the book itself. ( )
